We have been asked by a customer to produce a complete kit for a NBR D30 "Scot". While doing this we will be looking at the possibility of producing a kit that can be built as either a class D32 or class D33. These were known as Reid's "Intermediates". They were very successful classes and and were the forerunners of Ried's D34 "Glen" class.

This shot shows the motorised D34 chassis on the test track. This chassis can be used by anyone scratch building a D32 or D33 Intermediate. The D30 chassis will be very similar in appearance but the differences in the two chassis necessitate a completely different chassis for classes D29/2 and D30.

This is the first image of our fully compensated and load bearing NBR Class K, LNER/BR Class D34 loco chassis in EM/P4 scale. The chassis has been designed to fit under the PDK body. The chassis was photographed sporting the Westinghouse clasp brake arrangement. The later steam brake versions can be modelled too. We have included extra etched parts and an additional brake cylinder to allow this. (Please note that the Mashima motor is not supplied with the kit) Wheels are by Alan Gibson. The drivers are modified G4872S.This allows the correct 10" throw to be used (not included with the kit). This photo was taken from about 30cm away from the subject and it's not obvious that the crankpin throw has been altered The kit includes an NBR tender chassis compensated on all 6 wheels. The price of this chassis kit is £55.00 including 1st class postage.
